Strategies for the use of anthelmintics in livestock and their implications for the development of drug resistance

Extract

Just as human helminth infections are vitally influenced by the way in which people live, so the helminthiases of domestic animals depend on how these are managed.Veterinary helminthology is a branch of agriculture. The agricultural industry changes quickly, more quickly than the ideas of scientists. Ideas, in their turn change more rapidly than their practical implications are understood. A discussion of anthelmintic use must therefore be partly agricultural, partly historical.
